After a day of outdoor fun, unwind on the queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room and chat about your day or watch a movie on the 70-inch flatscreen TV. If you are looking for a bit more excitement, play some friendly matches on the new foosball table in the garage.

The remodeled kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and beautiful countertops. Brew your morning pick-me-up in either the coffee pot or the Keurig machine. Grill your catch from the sea on the gas grill for dinner.

On cool nights, pull all the chairs up to the fire pit and roast marshmallows.

Great except
Overall great property. We’ve stayed at a few different places in port an and this one is the best. Communication to the property manager was a mess. The messages in the app might not have ever went to the property manager, not sure exactly. I messaged days before my stay with no response. The check in day I got an automatic message with invitation to chat. This chat feature was to Vacasa and was very strange. Very uniformed people that didn’t help. Possible just a bot. Then two days into my stay when I repeatedly asked for the pool heater to be turned on finally the bot connected me to the property manager. She came by and turned the heater on for us. It was almost necessary in mid march. But the house is Very nice.

Wonderful stay
The outdoor space was awesome. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 kids. They even have some games for adults and children. Plenty of room in the kitchen. There are some weak spots in the floor that need to be addressed but we put a towel over these to keep everyone off of it. We had a great time and are excited to come back.

No one cared
Started off good but then the toilet stopped workibg ,when we tried to use the plunger which should have been clue number one because it was right next to the toilet when we arrived,the plunging made the other toilet and shower over flow with poop .lwe now had 2 showers with poop and 2 toilets that did not work . We reached out to every phone number provided and waited 15 hrs before some one showed up to try and fix the issue. I asked for the property manager to please call me and she never did. I wanted sone kind of suggestions or ideas of what plan of action they had for us , no one still has contacted me. We ended up leaving a day early because the smell and the mess was unbearable. My 75 yr old mothers first beach trip and this is what she experienced. Unacceptable !

Very cute home
The house is clean, very nice, and had all of the amenities we needed. It was very convenient to be able to rent a golf cart directly from the owners. The pool in the backyard is adorable, but we didn't opt to be out there much. Mosquitoes are really bad, so it wasn't pleasant to sit outside unless you were covered in bug spray, unfortunately. The town sprays, but there are still a ton of them. There's nothing to be done - I'm sure it's just because you don't get the strong ocean breeze on that side of town. The town pool / dog park / tennis courts / skate park / soccer fields is just down the road; walkable. That would be really nice for families with young kids - when looking for things to do when you're not at the beach.

A cute little house with everything you need.
It is in the “downtown” area so it was in a crowded location but still somehow felt out of the way with quick access to all the hustle and bustle around the tourist area. Only minor gripe is that gas’s grill did not work. Pool was a very nice touch and we got lots of enjoyment from the paceman game.

Disappointed
We got the place because it stated it had a heated pool. We tried every which way to turn it on, ended up calling the rental property management to find out We had to pay $50 additional a day and had to tell them 3 days in advance!
